Re: Christopher Shores - Aviation Historian
I'd say I have about 90% of his books. He and Roger Freeman made me realize the depth of the history of the air war in WWII. Still remember the first time I saw "Fighters Over The Desert" in 1970. It was a revelation.

Re: Christopher Shores - Aviation Historian
One of the greastest if not the greatest WWII aviation historian.
He did not see his biggest project being fully completed but I'm sure he did everything he could for it to reach completion without him and he should have left this world proud of that incredible work.
Thank you, you will be missed.

Re: Christopher Shores - Aviation Historian
As others have written above, he was an excellent researcher and author, and a real gentleman. His work was a great influence on me and many others, and it was a pleasure to be able to meet him in London on a couple of occasions.
